Response - Hi Terry, If you'll check the Descendant's List for George Steele (1827-1897), you'll notice that the eldest child of George and his first wife, Sarah Ellis, is Thomas Leftridge Steele, who was married to Minnie (Minerva) Adell Totten. Thomas and Minnie had about 15 children. Unfortunately, I have put the wrong date of death for Thomas, and I'll correct that. The correct birth and death dates for them are Thomas (3/21/1847 - 12/16/1936) and Minnie (9/13/1854 - 7/3/1942) according to their gravestones. They are buried in the Steele Cemetery at Switzer, W.Va. (just outside Logan on Island Creek), as is his mother, Sarah, and many of his siblings. I visited there last summer and the cemetery is badly overgrown, but I plan to talk to some of the Steeles in the area in hopes of getting that remedied.
Thomas's father (my great grandfather), George, is buried in Culloden, W.Va. with his second wife (and my great grandmother), Edith Jane Meadows. I live about 20 miles from Culloden and visit quite often, as my parents and grandparents are also buried there.
You might like to know the inscription on Thomas's tombstone is, "An honest man is the noblest work of God," and Minnie's is, "A tender mother and faithful friend."
I hope this has helped. If I can help further, please drop me an email.
